I was walking through the park to the shops the other day and as I saw that the leaves were beginning to fall I thought of the many pictures I had taken throughout the year on my phone showing the different seasons.

So here are some of them.

Above a very frosty one

Spring is in the Air

The good old all season Dogwood

then Summer takes a hold

The wild flower meadow

I liked the different coloured grasses here

and we are back to Autumn

It always fascinates me - the different sunsets at different times of year as the light changes

This one was taken this week

I feel so blessed being able to walk to the shops through this park and it is almost at the top of my road

About Me

I'm 78 years of age and enjoying life to the full. I have been a committed Christian from the age of 11. For me, Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. A relationship with God through His Son Jesus. I have been married to Alan for 57 years. We met on a Saturday, got engaged 24 hours later on the Sunday and married 4 months after that. I have 2 grown up children, Peter and Jane and became a Grandmother for the first time in July 2006. Our dear little Grandson is called Oliver. Our dear little Granddaughter Rebekah was born in April 2009. You can read more about the journey that God has taken me on in 'My Story'. Click on same under 'subject archives' below.

Welcome to my Blog

Why am I doing this and how did I get into it? Well my daughter Jane www.fromunderthemaple.blogspot.com has been nagging me. Surely the wrong way round - it's Mothers who nag their daughters isn't it?

A friend from the USA E-mailed me after reading Jane's blog and said "Do you realise how much an influence you have been on your daughter - all her hobbies are the same as yours?" Well, if you have read Jane's and got to the wine and G & T bits, then I take no responsibility for that - honestly, her's and her's alone.

I gave up G & T at the age of 21 when I was sailing on a ship with my husband (AJR) who was then a Chief Engineerin the Merchant Navy (more of that in future postings). We had a party for an engineer who was leaving the ship where I drank a number of G & T's. The next morning we sailed out of a Mexican port into a gigantic swell - say no more! The wine, I can take it or leave it - mostly leave it, my drug of choice being Belgium chocolate and Italian cappuccinos.
